Magnetosphere: Great Visuals for iTunes

When listening to music in iTunes, how many of you put the visualizer on? I used to, but soon I got bored of the same ones repeating, even when I learned how to change them myself. But, after a while of just hiding iTunes, I found Magnetosphere. To install, just download the file for OS X, then install it in the usual way. Once you reopen iTunes, go into View, and go to Visualizer and choose Magnetosphere. Now when you open the iTunes visualizer, you will see some yummy 3D imagery like below.

A typical Magnetosphere visualizer

Once you’ve opened Magnetosphere, you can change modes, subtract the amount or add the amount of particles, and more. To see what you can do, hit “?”, and a control menu comes up like the one below.

If you’ve ever become tired of the standard iTunes visualizer, and want to change it up, I recommend Magnetosphere. It’s freeware, and still in beta. If you’re interested, download it here.

    Nice product, although I wish it were more random, as the original visualizer which comes with iTunes is. A lot more colorful, too.
